The River Palace Hotel is a well-maintained smaller hotel with exceptional staff and services. Daily attention to the room with all the amenities needed for a terrific stay. The traditionally decorated room is carpeted with three sets of drapes. The staff are exceptional with their professional throughness and efficiency. The hot breakfast with a range of options, was a great way to start the day. The smell of the breakfast getting started was evident in our first floor room. The room faced the street but as promised, the area was very quiet by 9pm and we slept well with the room darkening curtains and comfortable bed. We enjoyed the hotel and location, as we could walk to various sites in the city. The comfort and location contributed to an overall wonderful first visit to Rome.
